The New Nigeria People’s Party chieftain in Ogun state, Hon Olujobi Fayoyin has declared that state governors are responsible for the failure of local governments in Nigeria.

Hon Fayoyin who spoke with our reporter in Abeokuta today on the recent LG fund crisis in Ogun East brought to public notice by the council chairman, Hon Wale Adedayo, said the present administration has made the local government irrelevant in meeting the needs of the grassroots people.

He said the recent revelations from the council boss were a testimony that this administration has manipulated the grassroots by selecting their loyalists to head the affairs of the council, thereby using them as a tool to siphon the treasury.

“It is sad that lack of autonomy for the LG has made the grassroots suffer in the hands of Nigeria governors. It’s not only in Ogun State but all over the country. During the last LG election, the ruling party did everything possible not to allow the opposition to get access to the council, for them to continue the atrocities. Thank God, it’s their crony that believes it is not right, swimming against the tide for the liberty of the grassroots people.”

He added that” the distribution of palliatives by the FG is not properly done by the state government. With the committee set up by the governor, which did not include the opposition party and the LCDA, it is obvious that the palliatives will be a party souvenir. It’s so unfortunate that we find ourselves in this mess.”
